Thread: is shapton the way to go?

Hi, I have a Norton 4/8 k stone, and the flattening stone, also a Dovo strop. I'm not new to the art of the edge but just can not seem to get the shave I want. I'm using a old razor that has no name, and a Dove 5/8 stainless that seems ok but I feel like I can get a better edge on the carbon so I'm thinking about buying a 16k and a 30k shapton. So..... can stainless realy shave well?
and is the money for a set of shaptons well spent.

thanks
